It seems this may potentially be the social media post that the UCFPD is referring to:

This post is apparently what started it all today at the #UCF Library. A friend who told a friend…. pic.twitter.com/P6NAROmT1S

Again, these reports are unsubstantiated despite police response, and we will be updating this story as details emerge.

It seems that an officer may have mistakenly discharged a firearm, but reports are indicating the scene has been thoroughly checked and deemed safe.
